WELCOME TO ST HELEN’S
St Helen’s is a large, thriving all-through school and many of the girls who leave us at the end of Year 13 have been with us since Nursery or Reception. We are ambitious for every single girl: that she achieves her potential; that she leaves us to embark upon an exciting and fulfilling future, able to deal with whatever life throws at her with a calm, inner resolve and a sense of fun; that she is ready to go out into the world and make a difference. St Helen’s has a long tradition of academic excellence which encourages girls to pursue intellectual curiosity beyond the curriculum. Our GCSE results put us very securely into the top 50 independent schools in the country each year. Sixth Formers go on to established, high- ranking universities including Oxford and Cambridge, with more than a third studying STEM subjects. However, we give our girls much more than just academic success; our co-curricular programme is rich and varied, and our pastoral care ensures that every girl is valued and cared for.
Within easy reach of central London, our school is set in 21 acres of lovely grounds and, just as we are proud of our students’ academic achievements and their personal development, we are also proud of our facilities and buildings. We have invested over £20 million in a building programme over the last five years and have plans to do more. St Helen’s has a warm and lively atmosphere that makes it a really exciting place to work. Our staff and our girls look out for each other and encourage each other to be the best possible version of themselves. As such, you will play a vital role in supporting the school in the next stage of its journey and I look forward to
receiving your application. Alice Lucas, Headmistress
